Ask Me Anything!
1. TOPIC: The journey from beginner to performer
Whether you’re starting off on voice or another instrument, there are certain qualities you need in order to be comfortable and confident playing or singing in front of others. Even simple pieces in informal settings may cause anxiety or jitters.
Has this happened to you? What…Read More![Profile Photo]()

I think the others can become clearer. Here is an example: 3. TOPIC: Making practice fun for children
Nobody likes doing things they have to do. So it should be no surprise when children resist music practice. I have worked with —number of kids— over the —number of years—, what questions do you have for me about how music practice can be…Read More-

The 4 it is for me too – I did not have a stroke but I have not played the piano for decades. It is more difficult to play by ear. But my piano moved in to my new home, so I ll have to figure out how start again at some point 😉

#3 is fascinating to me. I remember getting guitar lessons but not really wanting to do them. I would have loved to have some exercises that encouraged me to pursue music.

After only 3 lessons at the Baton Rouge Conservatory, students typically see these results:
1 – More confidence trying new things (even beyond music)
2 – More ease in hearing and echoing different tunes and rhythms
3 – Increased physical comfort while singing or playing 🫶If you are currently experiencing any of these symptoms:
1 -…Read More![Profile Photo]()

@ruthviolincox-net love this! I do think that if you said this in line one in first set it would help frame “beyond music”: More confidence trying out new skills and activities (even beyond music). thoughts?

![Profile picture of RuthRoland]()
Yes, wonderful! Trying to keep it succint–does my solution (trying new things) works to encompass skills and activities or just make it sound vague?

I had to write an Origin Story for my speaker profile. I’m sharing it below. This is more than sufficient for my purposes, and I have no intention of lengthening my story using this month’s template. So I’ll be bowing out of the remainder of this month’s sessions. . . Have fun!
Have you ever felt like you were running on fumes, but didn’t…Read More

This works well for your website and social posts. I do think it lacks emotion. The only emotion is the burnout.
You mention Joy and simplicity of being on the road, but you haven’t painted a true picture of what that looks like. You are just telling me, which makes it impossible for me to actually see. That last sentence needs more, otherwise…Read More -

I like all the travel and adventure language (running on fumes/empty, climb, brink, etc.) I agree with Amy about wanting more details on the sunny side of things.
The second paragraph of your post (starting with “But”) might read “But after 18 months of working from home, I was running on empty. I found myself back where I started, on the brink…Read More

As a violin teacher and chamber music coach, I had been working at five locations for two or three years and it was starting to take a toll. Between the long drives, the disparate calendars, and the large number of students, I didn’t feel able to give my students the attention they deserve. I was frequently tired and haggard, unable to remember w…Read More

This is obviously not the whole thing, and it’s already long. Maybe publish as a serial? The thought of a series of videos about this topic makes my stomach churn. Maybe I’ll be ready for it after I post the other videos that have been queuing up for CPC!

This is good, Keep going. We can trim it once you have it all down on paper. Sometimes dumping it all out of your beautiful brain and getting all the steps down will help. We can also make sure you have it worked out so your stomach doesn’t churn. I would love for you to share with us what is the cause for the churn. It is good to talk…Read More

Thank you
The churn is partly due to the backlog and partly due to me not having enough distance from this story to feel ready to tell it on camera. It’s all I can do to keep up with the preparations for these videos–I’m having a hard time actually getting around to making them. Things should be better starting this weekend–summer schedule is…Read More

Your 4th topic – how you learned to play violin again after having a stroke – is inspiring. It sounds like a great title for a TEDx talk!
